Best car now for city driving in terms of FC

[Battlestar]

Guys,

Thanks for all the comments. We currently have an isuzu trooper and my wife drove it for several years. Kaso malakas siya sa diesel at hindi na maganda ang performance so naghahanap si wifey na pang everyday pamasok. I'll be looking into the cars you mentioned and i'll keep you posted kung nakabili na kami

*rollyic

sir i assume lesser po ang traffic (or mas maikli daan pero mas matraffic?) kaya economical dito compared sa normal route nya? thanks sa suggestion!

BACOOR - COASTAL - AIRPORT ROAD - NICHOLS - C5 - EASTWOOD.
or
BACOOR - SLEX - BICUTAN EXIT - LOWER BICUTAN - C6 - MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY - SANTOLAN PASIG - EASTWOOD.

No love for Mitsubishi Adventure? With these type of route, I suggest go for any Diesel engine bro. Why?

On the leftmost Southbound area of C5 before the bridge of Pasig medyo malalim ang baha dyan. Pag sedan ang dala mo at mabilis ang takbo sigurado talsik lahat sa windshield mo.

Manggahan Floodway is also flood prone area. Eastwood ba kamo? During hard rain bro kaya dyan bumaha hanggang tuhod. Pasok pa mga minsan ang baha sa loob ng resto eh :D

sir taga pasig po ako at lagi akong dumadaan ng C5 at floodway.
nabaha lang yung C5 nung bagyong ondoy besides non, hindi naman binabaha ang C5.
yung floodway, alam nyo po ba na karamihan ng nakatira sa may floodway nakatulog ng mahimbing nung bagyong ondoy? kasi ni-sahig nila hindi nadaplisan ng baha.
sa eastwood daw po nagwo-wrok ang wife ng TS. kaya wala po tayong magagawa don ;)

sir tried and tested ko po ang mga suggestion ko. wala pong gaanong traffic lalo na pag rush hours....bakit po? kasi po pabaliktad ka sa traffic. dahil pag umaga, pa-south ang ma traffic at pag hapon-gabi pa north naman po ang ma traffic.

however, go to my 2nd opinion route...kasi po gagawin ang C5. maglalagay daw ng fly-over. even MMDA said, expect heavy traffic sa C5.

wow... thanks for the suggestion sir. come Feb lilipat na rin kami ng office. it's good to know na hindi magiging hassle ang pagpunta ko sa morning (around 9) at paguwi (around 7 pm)

sir si Misis, ang time nya is 2 pm to 11 pm. so bibiyahe siya ng 12:00 PM from bacoor then uuwi siya ng mga 11:00 pm from eastwood. does this mean mahihirapan sya on those times? ty

Vios period. or lipat kayo Ng bahay to Eastwood hehehe.

Tried and tested ang vios... Di ko mapatay kahit lag lag ko every pothole and for pushing my neighbors car away when it's parked in my slot...

We just sold our 2002 Trooper last month. Engine performance is very, very satisfactory. Napakabilis ng sasakyan na yan! What makes you feel that its performance is degrading? Though I have to agree about the fuel consumption part. It has been getting pretty thirsty lately... Since sanay na pala siya sa malaking sasakyan at Isuzu pa, Crosswind na! Although siguro maninibago siya sa kupad niyan pero hey, that's what you pay for better gas mileage. Perhaps you can just consider installing some convenient performance mods.

sir mabagal kasi siya and as per checking ng mechanic na pinatignan namin, sira daw ung turbo. may mga minor repairs needed (i.e. detailing, etc) pero ayaw na naman paggawa and i am planning sell ng palugi and use the money as down. btw, bighorn pala yung amin - converted (right hand to left hand) version ng trooper kaya siguro hindi rin ganun ka ok ung performance as compared sa locally assembled na trooper.

im thinking of selling it ng around 250k - ok na po kaya ito? how much nyo nabenta sir ung trooper nyo? ty

Pinatrade-in namin ang Trooper sa isang family friend na nagbubuy and sell. Since they're not very well to do, ginawa nalang namin pinatrade-in yun para sa '04 Accord V6 nila. Dagdag kami ng 80k for that at yung sticker price nila for the Accord is 580k, so lumabas 500k benta namin diyan. Not that much of a good price for a good condition 2002 Trooper with 73t kms on the clock pero kung icoconsider na may kaunting aayusin pa sila na minor detailing, ibebenta pa nila yan at hindi madali magbenta ng Trooper dahil sa injector stigma sa mga 4JX1 units, acceptable na rin yan.

I'd say kung hindi mahal, paayos mo na muna ang turbo bago mong ibenta. Bumili kami ng surplus turbo 50k lang so kung ayos-ayos lang I suggest gawin mo muna yan tapos benta ka mga 300-350k depending on the condition of your vehicle.

yung papasok nya, ok po yung suggestion ko.
yung pauwi, diretsohin na nya yung C5 tapos nichols bridge tapos naia terminal 3 tapos airport road to bacoor na. bakit po? mukhang delikadong dumaan ng C6 late night.

I would, but you live far from our place at sa Retiro/Banawe, QC area ako nagpapagawa ng sasakyan eh... If you visit the Trooper thread, I'm sure there are lots of people who may be able to help you.
